LEASING A VIRTUAL COMPUTING SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18153245 titled 'LEASING A VIRTUAL COMPUTING SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where a user can request access to a computing resource managed by a computing resource management service. The service selects a resource from available options, modifies access control parameters to allow the user access during a lease period, and restricts access to other users.

  • User can request access to a computing resource
  • Computing resource management service selects a resource and modifies access control parameters
  • User gets access during a lease period while others are restricted

Key Features and Innovation

  • User-requested access to computing resources
  • Dynamic modification of access control parameters
  • Lease period for user access

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in cloud computing services, data centers, and virtual environments where resource allocation needs to be managed efficiently.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient management of computing resources
  • Secure access control for users
  • Resource allocation optimization

Benefits

  • Improved resource utilization
  • Enhanced security measures
  • Streamlined access control processes

Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include cloud service providers, IT companies, and organizations with complex computing resource management needs.

Prior Art

Readers can explore prior art related to resource management systems, access control mechanisms, and lease-based computing services.

Frequently Updated Research

Stay updated on research related to cloud computing, resource management technologies, and access control systems for computing resources.

Questions about Computing Resource Management

How does the system ensure secure access control during the lease period?

The system utilizes dynamic modification of access control parameters to restrict access to other users and ensure secure access for the requesting user.

What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale computing environments?

Challenges may include scalability issues, integration with existing systems, and ensuring seamless resource allocation across a wide range of computing resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A user may transmit a request to a computing resource management service for use of one of a set of resources managed by the computing resource management service. The user or the computing resource management service may select a computing resource from a set of available resources, which may be a subset of the set of resource. The computing management service may transmit a lease request to the selected computing resource to modify the access control parameters to allow the user access to the selected computing resource during a lease period and restrict access to other users during the lease period. Further, the computing resource management service may transmit an indication of the selected computing resource and the lease period to the user.
